Introduction Of Google Calendar 

Sharing your Google Calendar with someone is a great way to stay organized and keep everyone on the same page. Whether you want to share your calendar with a friend, a colleague, or even the public, Google Calendar makes it easy to do so. In this blog, we will walk you through the steps to share your Google Calendar with someone, whether it’s a specific person, the public, or within your organization. Let’s get started!

Creating a New Calendar

Before you can share your Google Calendar, you need to create a new calendar. Here’s how:

  1. Log into your Google account and open Google Chrome.
  2. Go to the top right corner and click on the nine dots.
  3. Click on “Calendar” or type “calendar.google.com” in the address bar.
  4. Scroll down and click on the plus icon next to “Your calendars”.
  5. Select “Create new calendar”.
  6. Give your calendar a name, such as “Task Calendar”.
  7. Click on “Create calendar”.

Sharing with Specific People

Sharing your calendar with specific people allows you to control who has access to your events and the level of permission they have. Follow these steps to share your calendar with specific people:

  1. Click on the three dots next to your calendar.
  2. Select “Settings and sharing”.
  3. Scroll down to the “Share with specific people” section.
  4. Add the email addresses of the people you want to share your calendar with.
  5. Choose the desired permission level for each person.
  6. Click on “Send”.

By default, the permission level is set to “See only free/busy”. This is useful when you want someone to be able to see when you are available without revealing the details of your events. If you want to grant more access, you can choose the “See all event details” option. For even more control, you can give someone the ability to make changes to your events by selecting the “Make changes to events” or “Make changes and manage sharing” options.

The person you shared your calendar with will receive an email notification. They can click on the link in the email to access your calendar and adjust their permission settings if needed.

Sharing with the Public

If you want to share your calendar with the public, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the three dots next to your calendar.
  2. Select “Settings and sharing”.
  3. Scroll down to the “Access permissions” section.
  4. Click on the toggle switch to make your calendar “Available to public”.

If you make your calendar available to the public, anyone with the link can view your events. This includes Google search results. Keep in mind that making your calendar public means that anyone can see all the details of your events. If you prefer to limit access, you can choose the “See only free/busy” option instead.

To share your calendar with specific individuals within your organization, follow the same steps as sharing with specific people. However, instead of adding individual email addresses, you can select the option to share with your organization only. This ensures that only people within your organization can see your calendar.

Conclusion

Sharing your Google Calendar is a simple and effective way to collaborate and keep everyone informed about your schedule. Whether you want to share it with specific people, the public, or within your organization, Google Calendar provides you with the necessary tools to do so. By following the steps outlined in this blog, you can easily share your calendar and customize the level of access for each person or group.
